Here's the rest of the pics I couldn't post yesterday. (Hopefully)!The 2nd pic of the Black Hawk, showing part of the broad white band at the base of his tail.Two mythical places on our destinationIn San Angelo, TX, things find shade where they can. Look at the feet of the buffalo sculpture; there are 2 jackrabbits sheltering there!They were side by side, one in the shade of each legIt was not too hot for bunny fun, however!A bit of a chase!Resting time againThis guy found shade in front of a fence postNew Mexicans put a lot of pride into the gates to their ranches!This was a park in Silver City, N.M. that was formed around an old catwalk through a canyon that the miners used to use. The trees are 100+ year old Arizona Sycamores. No one knows why, but the trees make no more seedlings, not for 100 years.Ken on part of the catwalk; the rest was destroyed by a huge fire last year; it's slowly being rebuilt.The new part, waiting.On the road to Silver CitySame road!Silver City, like many of the towns in N.M. was built upon copper! This is the Santa Rita mine, the oldest continuously operated mine in the U.S. It is surprisingly colorful and beautiful!One of the tires from the mega-ton trucks that move the ore out of the mine.
